In the Vuhledar sector of Ukraine’s Donetsk region, the 72nd Mechanized Brigade and other units successfully repelled a Russian assault group. The Russian invaders utilized multiple convoys of vehicles and a significant number of infantry troops. According to the brigade, their well-coordinated efforts allowed them to hold the line against the enemy. The Russian command dispatched infantry fighting vehicles to carry out the attack, aiming to reach the road leading to the town of Vuhledar and the village of Vodiane in the Volnovakha district.

The Ukrainian military discovered the movement of the Russian armored group through reconnaissance drones, enabling them to adjust their fire. As a result, at least six enemy infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed during the offensive. The surviving Russian forces attempted to retreat but faced the possibility of death, capture, or escape. The 72nd Mechanized Brigade has previously repulsed a Russian armored offensive in April, where the invaders employed T-62M tanks. The situation remains challenging, with the Russians launching intermittent assaults and employing guided bombs and large reconnaissance UAVs.
